Loaded with full-sized, synth-action keys, the V61 USB MIDI keyboard controller is perfect for using with virtual instruments, plug-ins, and other applications. You get the feel of large keys with a square front in a compact controller. Eight backlit, velocity- and pressure-sensitive LED pads let you tap out rhythms, trigger loops, and play synthesizers. A quartet of assignable knobs and buttons give you the power to map almost any function of your plug-ins to a tactile controller. Add that to the pitch and mod wheel, and you have a controller that’s ready to take charge of your software. A single USB cable sends MIDI data and provides power to your keyboard. It also includes Ableton Live Lite 9 and a Software Preset/Parameter utility. Call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer for more information on the Alesis V61 USB MIDI keyboard controller.
